Henderson Family Pictures

So I had an idea.... I wanted to somehow get all of Tedi's grandparents together for a picture... Elizabeth, one of my best friends and our initial Celebrate Adoption photographer, helped me make this happen. Yes, I got my mom, stepdad, dad, stepmom and JT's parents to stand together, smile together for a picture that Tedi will have for the rest of his life. All of these pictures I adore.....we are so thankful to have each other and these pics...Aren't they wonderful!?!....these are just samples of the ones Elizabeth posted on our facebook. To see more of our pictures, go HERE. I hope you enjoy the pictures below of Tedi, our family and my friend's work...

"I believe that this could very well be looked back on as the sin of our generation. I look at my parents and ask, where were they during the civil rights movement? I look at my grandparents and ask, what were they doing when the holocaust in Europe was occurring with regard to the Jews, and why didn't they speak up? And when we think of our great, great, great-grandparents, we think how could they have sat by and allowed slavery to exist? And I believe that our children and their children, 40 or 50 yearsfrom now, are going to ask me, what did you do while 40 million children became orphans in Africa?"
